Monique Rourk

She brings 20 years of experience in counseling and holds a master's degree in Mental Health Counseling. Monique practices using a mix of client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral techniques, and she layers in other methods like dialectical behavior skills, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing when helpful. She describes her style as compassionate, non-judgmental, and flexible to where a person is in life.

In sessions she focuses on safety, self-awareness, and practical coping skills. Therapy can include processing feelings, learning emotion regulation skills, and developing problem-solving strategies. She also addresses sexual concerns including BDSM and kink in a respectful, non-shaming way when those topics are part of someone’s needs.

Monique works with people who want to reduce distress and change patterns that get in the way of feeling better. Her work emphasizes building a clearer sense of self and practical daily tools. She is licensed to practice as LMHC and LPC and sees clients in Michigan.

Background and approach: Over two decades in the field have shaped a broadly integrative practice. She has specialized trauma training and uses evidence-based therapies to help people stabilize, increase emotional regulation, and move toward more fulfilling daily life. Goals and plans are created together, and therapy is adjusted to each person’s pace and situation.
